Bethel is on the other side of the state, it's where the original Woodstock was held and is generally out of my striking distance. I'll catch him if he comes around my area and I can get the time off and whatnot. I know we discussed his performances before but I can't remember now if he still breaks out the 12 string Rickenbacker or not...does he?

Two times ago he broke out the Rick, last time it just sat there next to him. He played the Martin 7 string with his name on it, I think the Martin HD7 Roger McGuinn model.

Jeff Beck humiliates himself before kickoff at Wembley today ... that same don't-give-a-crap, ragged, sloppy style he's had for twenty or thirty years now. It's a damn shame really.

Here he is onstage solo in LA about ten years ago, out of tune, sapping every ounce of energy out of a song normally overflowing with it. Then Rod Stewart "surprises" him with a walk-on. Beck falls apart in a kind of faux shock, stops playing and staggers away leaving Rod on his own. Actually this behavior might kinda add up, maybe he's been riding the white horse all this time

Right now, I decided to whip out Leitmotif from Dredg -- a band I really enjoy, have since the early 00's. A lot more raw than their latest efforts, but I like the passion a bit more. Guitar is a lot more crunchy, solid tones without as much delay and other effects that can really water some music down.
